I completely agree @cognitive, Rovio’s obvious grab for cash over and over again is what is killing the game.
I remember back to the original Angry Birds, where you simply bought the game and enjoyed it, and the ever continuing expansion / updates.
Now they give the game away for free, and charge stupid amounts of money to actually achieve anything. For those that don’t have the cash to spare, they also give you silly amounts of in game ads where again Rovio just rakes in the cash, but even then, in game ads are limited to a few ads every few hours, so really those players have little chance to catch up.
I actually do believe there are cheaters as per a screenshot I supplied earlier in this thread when someone had the Blue slingshot within a week of the update being released. I also believe there are score cheaters, and you can see that when players jump hundreds of points within a few minutes each and every time instead of scoring between 5-10 points per ticket.
I just don’t think every high score automatically means a cheater.
